If Warren is going to provide help on the defensive line, that’s news to Sapp. He was happy with the eight linemen the Raiders had, and doesn’t sound impressed with Warren.

“If he makes it, he makes it,” Sapp said. “If he doesn’t, he doesn’t. He’s not going to make or break us. My eight’s been here since I first walked in the door and said, ‘There’s my eight. I can win with those eight.’ I don’t see him cracking that eight.”

The Raiders might not be as sold on the two-deep at defensive line, which explains why they traded for Warren after training camp ended.

Sapp, 34, wants to limit his playing time to about 45 snaps this season to stay fresh. Terdell Sands is the other starting defensive tackle, and Tommy Kelly has been moved to left defensive end.

Anttaj Hawthorne is an established backup at tackle, Josh Shaw has been hurt, and the other only option has former defensive end Tyler Brayton, who is in danger of getting cut.

That brings us back to Warren, who signed a six-year, $36 million with Denver last year but struggled with toe injuries. The final roster cut day is Sept. 1, giving him less than two weeks to make a case.
